Train Lyrics

There was a train that used to take you through these parts

This was the central station, now it's just a park

The field you play in, that was were a spark from the

Wire set the valley on fire

Burned for days

Took some lives

In the day of the train this place was mostly farms

And a few estates

They were the ones with cars

Those were simple days when kids made dolls from yarn

And they worked choking back the tears

Living lives full of pain and fear

A whistle breaks the silence and you're sick in your bed at night

Cuz you know there's no tracks for miles

Always had a softer side but babe that don't make it right

To hide away your powers

Singing those sad songs in the shower

There was a day I used to care about being smart

Always saving face, I had to play the part

Then I ran away, started making art

Who am I, why am I here?

What is life without pain and fear?

There was a bridge we used to cross when we were kids

Out where the river curves

Always seemed so out of place, slippery on a sunny day

An existential dearth

Birth and life, death, rebirth

What lies buried in that earth?
